bush. if you remember in that campaign, bush had actually been leading in the popular vote poll and had his electoral college problem then he ended up losing the popular vote and winning electoral college. there's a lot of -- the research that's been done has said the dui thing didn't have that much impact. it might have been the kind of thing in the last minute people who had kind of gone along with bush who had reservations about his maturity, maybe it brought that back in the final days. that's the only other one i can think of. no, we've never seen anything like this. >> in terms of what has happened since the onset of the storm, it was not just the storm arriving. it was the knowledge it was coming. the prepositioning of assets. the way that the campaigns both addressed the impending crisis and the way the president has responded since it happened. is there a way to reasonably measure the political impact of what's happened thus far? >> yeah, we can measure it if we get more national p

i have been accused of being a george bush at the light. i have been accused of being a liberal partisan. i have been accused--depends what page you open up to. i had a guy who accused me of being biased against the bush administration because i described what his clothes were on page 2. he didn't go any further than page 2. that is the frustration. hopefully people will put their politics aside and read the book and try to figure out what really happened in that critical period. >> shameless plug of this book reads like a tom clancy novel. is impossible to put down. the style, kurt goes from one simultaneous event and geographic location to another, in the same context so you have a real sense of what is happening everywhere. in the book there is, for those who are apologists on either side there seems to be a lack of moral judgment or condemnation for approval and you have mentioned you have been accused by both sides of being biased. did you intend to relate just the fact or did you intend to communicate some judgment about what happened
